What does 1 femtojoule per second represent?

It is a unit of power equal to 10^-15 joules per second and is used to measure extremely small energy transfer rates.

Why convert femtojoule/second to erg/second?

Converting to erg/second allows expressing power in the CGS system, which is common in astrophysics and older scientific literature.

Are these units suitable for everyday power measurements?

No, these units are specialized for very small power levels relevant in nanoelectronics, precision experiments, and astrophysics.
